Reeducating the educator

the long version

This book focuses on community building within teacher education programs in Canada, Israel, Australia, and the United States. Maintaining that communities have to be built and sustained, the contributors discuss possible theoretical frameworks underlying community building and change and suggest that there is a need for teacher educators to go beyond localized experiences and reach out to one another in a global discussion. Because of the impact of local culture and histories, key questions and issues vary from one faculty to another, but the resulting global conversation provides a greater understanding of the professional development of teachers and teacher educators.
